Hello, I'm a shift worker who works 12 hour days that rotate between early mornings and graveyards once a week. To give you an idea, I work 4 day shifts from 5am to 5pm one week with 4 days off, and 3 night shifts from 5pm to 5am the following week with only 3 days off. Whenever I'm on nights, my CP...

The guy that runs the DME that I used to use (until they refused to supply the Bleep for me) uses cpap and the F20 AirTouch.....he told me he could get 3 months out of the cushion with common sense care. I wouldn't put too much faith in what ResMed says about it...they also tell you to replace the ...

I gave up on the memory foam, despite its advantages. The cushion used to split at the bridge of the nose, typically after 3 or four weeks. Here in Oz they retail for AU$66 for a three-pack, a lot less than your $60 per. I find the silicone mask lasts up to a year, with care. Can this pack be bough...

Hello, I've been using my mask for a few weeks now and while the CPAP website does mention to change it monthly, this seems a bit unnecessary, excessive (I'm guessing that it must last longer than a month), not to mention expensive.

Try something like that on your favorite pillow and adjust it to your comfort. Let the open part of the "U" be where your cheek and mask are to keep th...

Assuming you are using the resmed airtouch f20 mask, resmed says it doesn’t need cleaning as long as it gets replaced regularly (monthly). Per the resmed website: The UltraSoft memory foam cushion doesn’t require cleaning as long as it’s replaced regularly. You have the option of wiping it down wit...

Hi TinyTot87, I'm relatively new to CPAP, too. But since none of the long-time members have answered your questions yet, I thought I'd take a stab at a couple of them. First, do not use Lysol to clean your gear. You want to use something that is gentle on the silicone and which will not leave behin...

Hi everyone, I'm relatively new to CPAP and I have some questions. First, I need some advice/suggestions. I got a full face mask which is very comfortable but sadly does not allow me to sleep on my side. Therefore, I've had to buy a CPAP pillow to my dismay as I loved my other pillow that I bought a...
